The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Overall, my experience at Dexter High School was great. The best part of my high school career was the overall friends I made and the sports, especially the softball team. The worst part will probably be that some teachers don't understand what we go through as teenagers. I would like to see more teacher involvement with the students and caring for the students.
